The Style Insider: Hermes in the Hamptons

By Andrew Lutjens

Luxury emporium Hermes is opening its first seasonal boutique ever–using the Hamptons, New York’s summer social outpost, as its testing ground. The boutique, in East Hampton at 63 Main Street, will feature a range of summer and resort items and opened May 20 through September 20. The boutique is another step in the Hermes reach across the United States, including an opening in Denver and the expansion of stores in malls such as the King of Prussia, P.A., and South Coast Plaza in California. East Hampton Hermes will carry several exclusive items, including a limited-edition Zèbres beach towel ($530) and a white togo leather saddle with matching stirrups and reins (below, price available on request).
